I just came across this announcement. I have not worked with any of 
these apps but I verified their existence on ITunes.  The GPS app is 
only $3.99 and the other apps mentioned in this post are even more 
inexpensive.  Here's the info from globalAccessibilityNews ...

Seeing Assistant app for people with vision disabilities
Europe Aug 25, 2014
Seeing Assistant is a group of applications designed to help people who 
are blind or low vision in everyday life activities. These apps will 
help you e.g. navigate through a city, recognize colors, detect light, 
read barcodes and enlarge the image.
Seeing Assistant consists of a number of applications customized 
for people who are blind or low vision and it is available on the iOS 
platform of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. Our objective is to 
help such people in different aspects of everyday life activities. 
Seeing Assistant applications are developed by Transition Technologies S.A.

All Seeing Assistant modules have intuitive menu and are optimized to 
work with VoiceOver screen reading software; moreover, they use voice 
control function both in the scope of application service as well as in 
entering text. All our applications are available on App Store.

Seeing Assistant Move is a pedestrian navigation application. It enables 
its users to gain information about their present localization, to 
navigate to the chosen destination, to plan the route from point A to 
point B, to record one’s trace, thanks to which the user is able to go 
back the same route. This module supports following languages: English, 
German, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Chinese.
Seeing Assistant Home assists its users in everyday home activities 
offering, among others, color recognition, light detection, magnifying 
glass and recognition and generation of bar or QR codes. This module 
supports following languages: English, German, Spanish, Polish and Chinese.
Seeing Assistant Light gives the visually impaired people ability to 
detect the source of light. During its use, this application generates 
characteristic continuous sound. The sound pitch alters according to 
light intensity. The brighter the light, the higher the sound pitch 
emitted. The user localizes the source of light by turning the camera 
lens in the direction of the highest sound. This is a separate element 
of Seeing Assistant Home functionality, incorporated in the independent 
program.
Seeing Assistant Magnifier is a digital magnifying glass that 
enables people who are blind or low vision to comfortably and 
effectively read small print or precisely scrutinize small objects. This 
application not only helps to enlarge the image but also helps to change 
its brightness, contrast and colors (black and white and color 
inversion). This application is able to present the image from the back 
or front camera of the device. It uses LED light illumination. This is a 
separate element of Seeing Assistant Home functionality, incorporated in 
the independent program.
